"He's all yours Vivi." Luffy said happily when he brought a confused and alarmed Crocodile out of the tombs with ease and deposited him in front of both armies and his crew.

"Ha. You think this weak princess could-" Crocodile was cut off when Vivi slammed an Armament covered fist straight into his face, sending him flying back.

"Nice hit Vivi." Luffy said amused while Smoker and Hina approached, making the crew smile at the sight of their nakama.

"Dance Powder has been found in Crocodile's possession. This strips him of his title of Warlord. Crocodile you are under arrest." Smoker said gruffly while Hina happily slammed a pair of Sea Stone cuffs onto the downed and dazed warlord.

"Nice hit. Hina is impressed princess, you knocked one of his teeth out." Hina said amused and making Vivi grin.

"I've learned a few things traveling with them." Vivi said nodding towards her crew who all grinned at her and Nami nudged her shoulder against the princess's playfully.

"I bet." Smoker said with a small smirk around his cigars.

"Oi Smokey, Cage Lady. Make sure you let everyone know that this island is under our protection." Luffy said and his hat was shadowing his eyes, giving him a very serious look.

"Who are you?" One of the rebels asked glaring at Luffy who smirked slightly and tilted his hat to look at everyone with one half shadowed eye. Knowing exactly how dangerous he could look with that positioning, his crew said that it was always a serious dangerous look and his spouses mentioned how hot it was in their opinion.

"I'm the man who's going to be the Pirate King." Luffy said calmly as if it were a mere fact.

"Big words but I don't see how you're able to back them-" The marine was cut off when a wave of pressure washed over everyone, knocking out the weak willed ones.

"Huh. You held back a lot that time captain." Zoro said smirking and everyone was gaping at the gangly but strong man who hadn't even moved.

"So he's a Conqueror too." Amande said quietly as she let out a trail of smoke, staring at her son-in-law.

"Of course he did. If he didn't then a few of them wouldn't be able to handle it. Despite being a pirate able to take on any Warlord at the least he doesn't want to just outright kill some civilian by using too much force." Reiju said while Sanji just lit another cigarette and Smoker raised an eyebrow when he noticed that aside from himself and Hina, who were nakama to Luffy so his Haki felt more like a warm blanket to them, Tashigi was the only marine left standing despite being trembling pretty hard.

He knew his right hand had promise…now if only he could talk her into joining him in being a Straw Hat this time. He'd bet she'd be a lot happier traveling around the world free as a song and fighting strong opponents while having a crew so loyal they'd do anything for her at her back. He felt his memories surface, the sheer horror at hearing his captain and nakama were going to be fighting Big Mom, and then both her and Kaido. The helplessness he felt knowing he couldn't go help his crew. The joy and pride and relief when he brought both of them to their knees and didn't lose a single nakama despite how most had tried and ended up losing their entire crew. The pride in being a Straw Hat when his captain was crowned an emperor and then later a King. The pride and joy of being there when his King, his captain, married his Queens and he got to see the pure love between the four of them.

He remembered seeing all of his emotions reflected plainly in Hina's face when they got the news, having been stationed on the crew to track and follow and watch and hopefully eventually take out Straw Hat with the Marines never knowing that the mission would never succeed because there were two powerful Straw Hats on board already. He remembered all of that and wishing he could have been there with his captain and crew, his family, but knowing that he was helping them the best right where he was.

Yeah…It'd be nice to have Tashigi on board and on crew this time, to not be lying to her nine times out of ten.

"Meh besides most of the ones that fainted were those who were working for the old sand croc. I figured it was better to knock them out than to give them a chance to restart the war." Luffy shrugged and immediately people began checking on the out cold people, several of whom had the tattoo or mark of the millions or billions on them.

"Thank you Captain." Vivi said with a smile towards her captain who just waved it off, remembering how much it had hurt and scared her last time and proud of her growth.

"Any time. We should probably be going and talking in the castle place now right?" Luffy asked waving casually towards the palace and making Vivi nod her head happily.

"Of course! I'm sure father will be thrilled to talk with you and get to know my nakama! I'll have to let the cooks know that there will be a feast tonight to celebrate! The entire country's invitied!" Vivi said cheerfully and there were some cheers from the tired soldiers and rebels.

"Oi. Marines." Luffy glanced at the marines nearby, focusing mainly on his two Nakama who immediately gave him their undivided attention.

"You're invited too. Just make sure you leave most of the Baroque Works agents alone." Luffy said making most of the marines look stunned and confused but Hina and Smoker just smiled.

"Why would we leave them alone?" Tashigi asked confused and a bit wary about being invited by a pirate to a party.

"That's upon my request actually. They are all rather skilled and especially effective against any enemy pirates coming in through the Blues that may attempt to attack Alabasta or put it under their banner. If they don't mind working for me then we can use them as a line of defense for the country." Vivi said brightly and the marines slowly nodded their heads. After all it was a request of the princess who was most effected by everything that had happened.

"What kind of princess are you?" Tashigi asked looking at the blue haired princess confused and startled and making the girl grin at her rather mischievously.

"I'm a pirate! And best part is that no one would believe you if you told them." Vivi cheerfully said and Tashigi's jaw dropped slightly while Smoker and Hina just grinned at her.

"Seriously. What kind of crew is this?" Amande asked in disbelief as she glanced at the unbothered crew in exasperation and slight bemusement. Honestly she knew Time travel explained a lot and all but what kind of fucking pirates were these guys?

"We're the Straw Hats. You'll find that we're one of a kind kaa-san!" Galette cheerfully informed while pretending not to notice the marine photographer snapping photos of the whole crew, including her and Amande.

"So I'm learning. Big Moms crew has nothing on you lot." Amande shook her head slightly in disbelief, god her daughter had married a hell of a captain with a hell of a crew.

"Nope! Nor does Kaido!" Yamato said cheerfully making many jump since he was wearing his Oden outfit and no one really knew that he was in a female body until he spoke since he had only just removed his mask when he saw the photographer getting the Mushi ready.

"Don't worry. They'll get their turn to face the Captain and lose. It's just a matter of time." Reiju said placatingly almost to her lovers who both snaked their arms around her.

"You're going to end up ruling the seas aren't you?" Amande asked Luffy who laughed.

"Nah! I don't want to rule or conquer anything. I just want to be the freest person in the world!" Luffy said brightly as if it were obvious and Amande sighed as she lit another cigarette and took a long drag.

She was never going to get used to this crew but as long as they treated her daughter well…she didn't really mind them. They were…refreshing compared to the pirates she was used to.

Besides with the marines taking pictures of her and Galette being part of the Straw Hats there was no way that they could go back to Big Mom.
